So yesterday I literally stayed in my P.J.’s all day long. It was bad. I had a headache for most of the day too. I think it was because I was so lazy?? Really. It was weird. Even on my laziest days I actually get out of the house! Darn blizzard. I was not about to go anywhere. Matt, on the other hand…he left to get supplies for the family. A movie for the kids ( Alpha and Omega -cute! And Grown Ups for us – it was cute too.) Adam Sandler cracks me up. Movies on top of candy

The BEST Skittle flavor- Crazy Core!

(Skittles), boneless wings and popcorn….. yep. It was fun though. Today we are back to business. The YMCA is open, so of course I had to go! I had to make use of my carb load on Tuesday!

I hammered out 6 miles on the treadmill. My goal was to be in Zone 3 for the entire time. My running Zone 3 is 161-166. I averaged 163. Finally!! My pace was about 9:20/mile. I started my first 2 miles at 8:53; but my HR was about 168 ish. I actually felt fine, but I was trying to be mindful of my HR training so I did what I had to do and slow down…. that is unusual for me! I’ll take it though. I am not sure what to do about Saturday’s long run. The weather is still going to be rotten, but I want to do the proposed workout. It includes running some of the miles at race pace ( still need to figure that out!). I think my goal for the half-marathon in April is 8:00 miles…..Maybe. I would love, love, love to go faster, but I must be realistic right?!?! 8:30 it is! 😉 I have some decisions to make.

I was trying to hurry and finish so I could catch the spin class. I was late, but it was instructed by Andi; and she was expecting me late or not! It was a race day format ( very fun), but I kept it in my cycle zone 2. My average HR was 148. Good enough. Whew I was ( am) tired.

Blizzard of 2011....3-5 foot snow drifts...13 inches of snow. Boooo!

I got stuck at the bottom of my driveway on the way to the gym. Awesome. I was able to get myself out. Not so much on the way back in the driveway. I got stuck again. (duh). Matt had to come home from work to help get me unstuck. Ooops. I hope I don’t get stuck again on the way to take the girl to dance class. That would stink. Not much left to do today…laundry, clean, dinner, dance etc. The usual.

I am so not missing the snow right now!! I am sure I might ( maybe??) if I moved where snow is not usual……..
6 miles was not always easy for me. I thought 1 lap around the track was a ‘long run!’ 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
